Adam Saleh and Slim Alabher insist their getting kicked off a Delta plane wasn’t a prank, but fellow passengers have a different story.

Youtubers Adam Saleh and Slim Alabher in a set of new videos insisted their getting kicked off a Delta plane wasn't a prank, but their fellow passengers are coming forward with a different story.

In a clip that has been shared more than 1.7 million times across social media platforms, Saleh claims he and Alabher were booted from a flight to New York out of Heathrow Airport in London for speaking Arabic to his mother while on the phone.

"We're getting kicked off the plane because we spoke a different language," the 23-year-old YouTube prankster says. "I spoke a word and you said you feel uncomfortable."

Anthony Ellis, a passenger who sat a row ahead of the internet stars, said he heard one of the men shouting while the other filmed people's reactions. Ellis, who speaks some Arabic, recalled the incident a bit differently than Saleh and Alabher.

"He was never any part on the phone — I would have heard the whole conversation," he told the Washington Post. "If someone's being racist, I would stand up right away. In this day and age, you defend each other. It wasn't like that. I mean, this guy was trying to antagonize people. I think because they made it into such a big scenario, [Saleh] kind of panicked a little bit."

Others who were on the flight took to social media to dispute Saleh's account.

"The YouTube guy was trying to get his friend to shout something in Arabic which he did a total of 4 times," one person wrote alongside a picture of their plane ticket. "A couple of passengers after the second time said they were making themselves and their young children uncomfortable and could they shut up."

Another shared their boyfriend's account of the same episode to Facebook.

"The entire thing was planned. He wasn't on the phone with his mom speaking in Arabic," Roderick J. Edens wrote, also sharing a snap of a plane ticket. "He and his friends were shouting in Arabic with their fists balled up in the air. They were removed from the plane for being loud and disruptive."

It wouldn't be the first time Saleh has staged a video to stir the pot.

The self-described "professional idiot" — who has more than 3 million subscribers on his main YouTube and daily vlogging channels — has already admitted one of his most popular videos, showing alleged discrimination by a New York City Police officer, was a fake. And earlier this month, an Australian news site used airport security footage to debunk a video in which the YouTuber claims he stowed away in a suitcase to fly form Melbourne to Sydney.

Saleh is known for playing pranks, which are often rooted in the treatment of Muslims — in February Saleh shared the video: "Counting Down in Arabic on a Plane Experiment!"

Still though, Saleh and Albaher are doubling down on their story, assuring fans that the Delta incident was no hoax.

"People keep using the fact that we're pranksters against us," Albaher said. "I feel like this is the boy who cried wolf."

Saleh added: "You can see in the video this is as real as it gets."

Delta Airlines in a statement released early Wednesday confirmed the duo were removed from the flight for causing a "disturbance."

Delta spokesperson Morgan Durant told the Daily News Wednesday evening that upon arrival, the airline crew reviewed the incident after receiving a series of complaints.

"The customers who were removed sought to disrupt the cabin with provocative behavior, including shouting," Durant said in a statement. "This type of conduct is not welcome on any Delta flight."

The airline as of late has found itself mired in several high-profile incidents. In October, Tamika Cross, a black physician offered to assist an ill patient while flying Delta but was dismissed by an attendant who didn't believe she was medical professional.

The episode inspired a Delta policy change as well as "inclusion training" for employees.
